Particularly influenced by nature, history, growth and decay and elements of Japan, my work emerges from a combination of visual reference and intuition. Exploring concepts of energy and time through texture and color, stenciling and patterns create layers and repetitive motions to emphasize this. Often times creating stencils from shapes and fragmented imagery from past work, the paintings start to build on their own history to inform the new vision.
Brittany E Lampe is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati Design Art Architecture and Planning program with a minor in marketing. Although born and raised in Cincinnati, her career and personal life has taken her from Cincinnati to North Carolina, Okinawa Japan and back to North Carolina, with the bulk of her recent work inspiration heavily influenced by Okinawa and overseas travels. She has always found interest in her location, pulling from nature, personal experience, emotions, found objects and depths of layers. Working primarily in acrylics and mixed media she aims for a curiosity driven approach to her in home studio practice, where she utilizes imagery, patterns, and dives inward chasing energy and connections to bring the paintings to life.
